Let's dive in!
New York Knicks 1 – 10 Win Margin (+240)
Don't look now, but here come the Knicks. New York has won 4 games in a row, including beating the Cavaliers, Hawks and Kings. In that 4 game span, the Knicks rank 1st in net rating and have held opponents to less than 100 points in 3 of those 4 games. The starting five for New York has developed excellent chemistry, and it also helps to have Immanuel Quickley being the first guy off the bench. Jalen Brunson is questionable for this matchup, so it's important to keep an eye on his status. However, New York has not played since Sunday night, so I do expect Brunson to suit up. The Bulls have a strong starting five featuring DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, but they lack depth in their bench which has been Chicago's Achilles heel all season. The Knicks are playing better basketball right now, so they have value as underdogs.
